This instrument can teach, it can illuminate; yes, and it can even inspire.
But it can do so only to the extent that humans are determined to use it to those ends.

do you believe that the responciblity of Media producers have changed because of new meda

Mr. Duke - it has not affected my ethics or stories. An example of the change: if the New York Times had new media, they would have published the Pentagon Papers.
-new media has not affected his readership because he has "tribal publications." His news paper is the only one to produce the information in his community

Mr. Greenberg -Media producers now have an obligation to open up and listen to citizens
-new responsibility for consumers: with self publication people must be honest

Dr. Rich -"truth is illusive and it is not a single thing"
-new media has shifted the way everybody thinks about the news. today people have to question all the information they get whether online or published.
-entertainment media cannot separate learning from different places. brains mature untill middle ages. media producers must take responcibility for a broad range of thier affects like car manufacturers do.

Mr. Duke- media consumers now have a much greater responsibility. The old culture in the media: "anything you know might be wrong." New culture of media: "I'm right. I know."
-there used to be 20 opinionated newspapers in NY so people had to buy 3 or 4 newspapers. Today people have to do the same thing
